WHO IS THE HCGC CHOIR DIRECTOR?

Anu is the Choir Director of The Reapers Choir (www.thereaperschoir.co.uk). She writes, arranges and produces some of their songs. However, her first love is to sing, and she has been doing this for over two decades. She has sung with and in many different choirs, groups, solo artists including work with Lay Witnesses for Christ International, Bishop Jason Nelson (USA), Michael Bethany (USA), Carren Richards, Visual Ministries Choir, Re-Formed and The Sower Production Theatre Group. She has also ministered internationally including in the USA, Italy, Ghana, and Nigeria. She is trying to develop herself further by learning how to play the piano.  She is a professional choir director, vocal trainer, songwriter, producer, public and motivational speaker and engages in mentoring work in the community.

She practiced as lawyer (barrister) for 14 years before these other aspects of her life overtook that profession!

She decided to lead HCGC when the need to extend and share her gift arose. She is experienced in teaching choirs in the community and brings a variety of her life experiences into her choir directing. She teaches the choir by her “sing and repeat” method. It is not necessary for choir members to read music although she teaches the rudiments of musical composition during her direction. She will also teach performance techniques such as good breathing, blending, good pronunciation and punctuation, stage presence, body language in performance, connecting with your audience, etc. Learn more about Anu at her website –   www.anuomideyi.com
